‘How Memorising Scripture Changes You
by NavPress
“How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Thy Word. With all my heart I have sought Thee; do not
let me wander from Thy commandments. Thy
word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against Thee. Blessed art Thou, O Lord; teach me Thy
statutes.
“With my lips I have told of all the ordinances of Thy
mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Thy
testimonies, as much as in all riches. I
will meditate on Thy precepts and regard Thy ways. I shall delight in Thy statues; I shall not
forget Thy word.:” Psalm 119:9-16
This is an overview of the passages in Psalm (the Old
Testament book, Jesus quoted the most of all the books) that we have covered so
far in our ‘Cross Referencing Jesus Words’ series. It should be an encouragement to memorise Scripture,
so we are always ready with an answer for the hope He provides!

their children – Simon (my pastor) has been chosen to support the
Lord’s work in a new, more far-reaching way.
Help them prepare throughout this year for the new challenges that await
